Chapter 531 A Silver Figure

“If you’ve got balls, kill me!”

“From a decent, reputable sect? Hahaha, phooey!”

“Go ahead. If you can get me to slip out one word, I’ll adopt your last name.”

“You hatchet men!”

In the grotto prison on the top of the peak, the imprisoned experts of the Devil Cult, when seeing Li Mu and Ding Yi coming in, all began to swear. They stared at them as if they were going to eat them off.

The prison was located in the middle of the mountain and had a special ventilation hole. That place was devoid of sunlight all day long.

On the stone walls lay newly placed tactical deployments, which were used to prevent a breakout or a jail delivery. Those who were imprisoned on the first floor were all ordinary Devil Cult experts below the Natural Realm. In the middle of the floor stretched a corridor. On the two sides of the corridor were stone rooms dug straight from the stone walls. The rooms all had refined iron bars blocking the doorway. The experts behind bars had had their cultivation sealed, which meant they were basically ordinary people for the moment.

Ding Yi was rather frightened by these experts of the Devil Cult. His legs gave way and his countenance changed drastically.

But he still steeled himself to walk ahead of Li Mu, pulling forward the iron cart carrying food and muttering, “Xiao Duan, don’t be afraid. These people are just hopelessly stiff-necked. They can’t get out anyway…”

Li Mu nodded but did not speak.

He was secretly observing the captured experts of the Devil Cult.

Of the imprisoned, there were men and women, the old and the young, and even monks in Taoist and Buddhist robes. All of them were somewhat injured. Some of them were injured in the battle. Some were sporting scars left during the torture and interrogation conducted by the West Sea Sword Sect. Some were covered in blood, lying on the ground almost lifelessly. Some were sitting silently in the cell, while some were shouting and screaming quite restively and glowering at Li Mu and Ding Yi.

They were fed once three days.

This was the rule set by the West Sea Sword Sect.

The so-called meal, however, was nothing more than brown rice mixed with gravel, which was just enough to prevent the captives from starving to death.

Li Mu and Ding Yi threw the brown rice into the manger that very much resembled the one in a pigsty in the cell with spades. Then, the meal delivery was considered done.

The whole process was supervised by disciples of the West Sea Sword Sect from the side.

On the second floor were 20 water cells, all of which were half-filled with water. Those who were imprisoned there were either Natural Experts or Celestial Beings. Not only were their natural qi sealed, but also their meridians and joints were punctuated with Spirit-sealing Spikes. The prisoners were also tied to the stone pillars with black iron chains. The cells were more heavily guarded. Obviously, the West Sea Sword Sect was worried that these people would escape.

These people were locked in separated cells. Practically each of them had scars all over their bodies. They had been interrogated and received all kinds of cruel torture, but there were still some people who were very much alive, pulling the iron chains noisily. When they saw Li Mu and Ding Yi come in, they dashed toward them dragging the iron chains in their wake, looking as fierce as if they were going to devour them at once!

“When I get out one day, I’ll definitely kill all the scumbags following the Decent Alliance like you!”

“Bah, you tricked me. What kind of ability is this? If you do have guts, let me out and battle me face-to-face!”

Some prisoners bellowed.

After delivering the food on the second floor, the two pushed the iron cart toward the third floor but were stopped by a Natural Realm disciple of the West Sea Sword Sect named Zheng Qiang.

“Those locked up on the third floor are felonies. There’s no need to send them food. You two can go back,” Zheng Qiang said in an indisputable tone as he sized the two up warily.

Ding Yi was taken aback and said, “But Senior Fellow Apprentice Qi said…”

“Qi Zhen’s words carry no weight here. Get lost now,” Zheng Qiang said incontestably.

Ding Yi hesitated for a moment and said, “Well, well, well, I’ll go now.”

The two of them headed back. When they went down to the first floor, they saw a few disciples of the West Sea Sword Sect came to the prison to fetch some prisoners. They directly yanked a young couple out of a cell and took them to the torture room for interrogation.

There was a little girl in the cell, crying at the young couple, “Dad, mom, no…”

“Bring their daughter along as well. Well, she might be useful when we interrogate the c
